There was a good amount of interest in Machineface and in velocity extrusion. I often switched between 40mm/sec and 180mm/sec during a print to showcase how you can do that and it still works right. Thank you Bas and Alexander... I would of course eventually run out of cooling at 180mm/sec so I couldn't just leave it there.
